The Bangladeshi way of watching a solar eclipse

Bangladeshi photojournalist Monirul Alam (his blog), sent us this photo, which he took this morning (July 22) on Patla Khan Lane in Old Dhaka. A Bangladeshi woman is trying to watch the solar eclipse the traditional way. "We use a plate with some water in it in order to protect our eyes."
